Jitterbug Boy

Well, I'm a jitterbug boy by the shoe-shine Resting on my laurels and my Hardy's too Life of Riley on a swing shift gears follow my drift Once upon a time I was in show-biz too I seen the Brooklyn Dodgers playin' at Eb bets Field Seen the Kentucky Derby too It's fast women, slow horses, I'm reliable sources And I'm holding up a lamp post if you want to know I seen the Wabash Cannonball, buddy, I've done it all Because I slept with the lions and Marilyn Monroe Had breakfast in the eye of a hurricane Fought Rocky Marciano, played Minnesota Fats Burned hundred-dollar bills, I eaten Mulligan stew And got drunk with Louis Armstrong what's that old song? I taught Mickey Mantle everything that he knows And so you ask me what I'm doing here holding up a lamp post Flippin' this quarter trying to make up my mind And if it's heads I'll go to Tennessee, and tails I'll buy a drink If it lands on the edge I'll keep talking to you
